ORDE,R OF ST. PATRICK. The Installation of the knights of St. Patrick took place on Thursday se'nntght in Dublin ; his Grace the Duke of RICHMOND, Grand Master. The Earl . of BECTIVE was p - oxy for his father, the Marquikof I - lEAForr. The other Knights installed were the Marquises of WATEu FORD and ELY ; Itonest, Costuogiot,and 4iiANNOU. • The dress and plume* worn on the oceasiott nett superb. Ugiaitak consisted of eighteen fee thers, scarlet, bluit,'4l4l . .white, sum:mooed upon hats of white satin,. Jihad with Nue, turned up be fore with a star of the Order iu front, from which the plume rises. The robes were blue silk lined 'with white, richly trimmed with silver, and silver tassels ; breeches and waistcoats of white satin to correspond. Mier the Installation, his Grace the LORD L/ELT TENANT, Grand Master of the Order, gave a grand dinner to the Knights, their &quires, and the th ficcrs of the Order in Patrick's Hall. BAI was expe,aed to be most brilliant. Her Grace thn Duchess of RICHMOND, Lady EDWARD SOMILIISET, and several other elegantes of the vice inal party, wore miniature plumes it, honour of th e , occasion.—Such was the arra ugernea t made !or this splendid ceretnon.y. The change that bas taken place in the customs of Parliaineut since the year 1571 i forms a curious article in historical records. At that period, and be fore, in the " order and usage how to keep a Parte nlerit in England in these dales," it is stated that " the beginning is at eight of the clocke in the morning, and dooth continue until eleven of the cloche." The great alteration which has taken place in the modes of life, will sufficiently account for the difference in the time of the daily sitting of Parlia ment, and the vast exten:ion of the period of dis cussion must be imputed to that persevering zeal among the Opposition Members, which induces them. to sacrifice ease and health, not in pursuit of place and pregit (as might be supposed), but merely fur the good of their country ! The following letter, which has been received from a very respeaable quarter, confirms the state ments already given of the commercial policy main tamed by the Court of Russia : " RIGA, Ju 9.—The most severe measures are reunited to, to prevent any thing from/England be ing admitted. Near 1* vessels and cargoes are already condemned, the Danish and French Minister, hay,- ing severally declared the certificates counterfeit, which have been exhibited from Bergin, and ports, of Holland. A Commission, in which all the Con suls are to sit, has been appointed to examine the papers of every vessel that enters any Russian porti. This already causes much delay, and a large pre mium is to be held oat fot every one that proves a fraud; in which the Captain and crew are to parti cipate, if they favour the condemnation, which fol lows of coure."

The cold - dry, weather in the former part or this month has proved injurious not only to the Wheats, but to the Oats, Barleys, and event the pulse crops, on the wet and clay lands, in almost every corn dis , irk* of the island. The Rye crops have suffered lunch by the seve,ity of the winds, so prevalent on feeir coming into bloom.—The Barleys in Kent haVe been subjed to the same fly that is found so prejudicial to Turnips, and been materially injured by the insect visitation, seldom if ever known before in that species of Corn.

Norfolk had ilitici4t the exclusive advantage of fine rains about the nitddie of the month, which have improved the Barleys; so as to promise a large produce.—The re cent importatioes of Wheat and Flour from Ame rica may be considered as a very fortunate supply, under the general appearance of the Corn crops of Great Britain.-The pasta : lands are very short of Grass, except in old rich ineadows, where the crops are large ; Clover of both sorts, and Trefoil, are like wise abundant. tiotatoes bid fair for a general good crop. The forward TurnipS have been much taken off by the fly in mobt-Cotinties where Mr. PAUL'S simple instrument for ?,Weeping them off the land into a bosom of canvas annexed to a slight frame, has not been applied : the AgriCnitural Interest is highly indebted to Mr. CoKE, for his trenuons recommen dation of this most useful instrument in Norfolk, by which he can effectually . secure own extensive Turnip crops at f-lolkbam, for the• trifling expence of sixpence per acre.-- , -The Hop Grotnids continue foul and unpromising, except where sdine partial heavy rains have cleansed them.

The particula'.. - s of ails horrid scene are already be fore our headers.--The: unfortunate man haa - long been in a state of insanity, and was twice confined in St. Luke's Hospital 9.lthat account', and; ac cording to the evidence itdduced, it appeared that he had not slept for seven nights previous to that on which he perpetrated the dreatiftAdeeds. The Jury acquit 62 :the Prisoner, on the gfound of his insanity. He , was oidtkted to be detained in custody till his Maje&iy's pk:asure be known re speting his future dispcsal. • t • Jathes Ayres ,and Robins , two : lads, the one 17; and the other tg years of age; Were in dided for the wilful murder of .o(Aluer, on Sunday, the 4111 of June. _ It appeared in evidence that the Prisoner had re peatedly insulted the deceased, who at length pro voked by continual ill-usage, agreed to fight Ayres on the 4th of June, in a field near Shoreditch. They accordingly met, when after ten rounds, the Prisoner' struck the deceased a blow behind the ear, in consequence of which he fell, and expired in five Minutes. The Prisoner Robinson ailed on this occasion as a second or bottle-holder, and encouraged Ayres throughout to persevere in the fight, giving him in struaions how to strike. The Jury, after a short consideration, returned a verdiet of--Guilty of Illanstaughier. William Jones, alias Sinclair, alias Sell, was in clieled for feloniously uttering as true a certain draft, purporting to be the draft of one William Morgan, for 471. as. 6d. upon John aro Alexander Anderson and Co. Bankers, No. 17, Philpot-lane, London, on the 9th day of .May, lie well knowing the same to be fhrged and counterfeited, with intent to de fraud Thomas Fairfax, or the said tankers, of the same. ThComet Yairfak; a Publican, in Stretton Grounds, Westminster, stated, that the Prisoner lodged in his house, and went in debt with him to the amount of sixteen shillings, but ndt wishing to trust him far ther, he requested him to discharge the account, which the Prisoner promked to do on the ensuing day, On the gth of May the PriSoner came to the Witness, and tendered him a draft fur 471. 3s. (id. as specified in the indi6tment, saying at the same time Le, the Witness, need not have feared his abi lity to discharge his debt. The Witness said he had not the foil change, as he had that day paid his brewer. The Prisoner replied, he only wanted se ven or eight pounds, and if he would let him have that sum, he would return in the morning, and go with him to receive the amount of the check at the Bankers. Witness said he had but a few shillings, and at the Prisoner's desire lent him thirteen, he leaving the draft in Witness's hands, and promising to call on the next morning to accompany him to get the cash fin' it. The Prisoner, however, did not return According to promise, and Witness went to the houie of Andersen and Co. to ascertain whether the draft was a good one, when he was informed it was a forgery s - in consequence of this information, he sought for and apprehended the Prisoner. The forgery being proved, the Prisoner in his iiefenee stated; that he had found the check near Hation Garden ; thlt he could not, from the small ness Of the sem received, be supposed criminal i and that he merely wished to leave the check in the hands of Fairfax until its value was ascertained. i The Jury found a verdia of . Guilty—Decith. The Prisoner, although shabby in his appearance, had evidently receivkl an education superior to men in his apparent station. Alton tssEx. SE”!ON.-Yesterday Honk was tried upon a charge of an assault ) with hytent to commit a disgusting otlence.—Found Guilty upon the dearest evidence. When the verdia, was pronounced, Mr. MAIN WARING stated to the Jury, that, this was not the first time that the Defendant was before the Court on the very same species of charge. But as the principal Witness, who is a respectable young trades man in the neighbourhood of Oxford -street, stated in his evidence, that a man who praaises as an At torney at the Sessions had offered him a bribe to save the Defendant from convi6lion ; he hoped that if such a person really was au Attorney ot . any Court, it should be made known to such Court, as such a man was no longer fit to annoy society, or disgrace an honourable profession. . 2 The Prisoner was then sentenced to six months imprisonment in the House of CorteCtion, and dur ing that time to stand in the pillory. That there is no intention on the part of the French and Dutch Governments to relax in .the ex ecution of their severe commercial decrees, even at the present critical moment, which might suggest moderation and forbearance, is shewn by the follow ing answer, which was recently given in to a petition fur leave Id discharge some American ships The Dire&or of Public Concerns on the River, informs Mr. —, that, in conformity with his Ma jesty's orders, his petition touching American ships, cannot be complied with. Thai, although it afliiels his Majesty to be under the necessity of obstructing commerce, in order to avoid greater inconveniences, he cannot revoke the existing Orders. All Ameri can ships laden with goods which art allowed to be imported, will be admitted; but should their cargoes consist of colonial produce, though they should even come from Dutch colonies, they must be deposited in the King's warehouses tintil peace takes place, or wait the event of more favourable circumstances or times.—Juue £O." I I 2 2 On Wednesday morning a genteel dressed man went down the area steps of the Marquis of TAVl rrocit's house in Grosvenor-square, and entered the servants' hall, the servants at that moment being absent. He took three of their great coats, and was proceeding up the area step; with them, when the porter perceived him, and asked hiai what he was at. He instantly threw the coats down the area, and ran off. They pursued him, halloing out, stop thief. He was stopped in Ldw,.r Grosvenar str-ut, and •taken to Marlhorough-stret, where he will this day undergo an examination, Z.Zl4%r REPORZ ~.i •,.a~^:r COURT OF KING'S BENCH', ZITTLIIcS BEFolt I LQRsvitLE4BattOgicia IN wx:w- MINSTLK HALL. NEALE V. COriAti:. . . Mr. Pilau opened the case for the Plaintiff, who brought his action for false imi)risonment, against the Defendant, a most respeaabie Magistiate . of the : lio, lice Office, at Marlborough-street. He itated; that the Plaintiff was a respectable Money Lender, 'atia wh o resides at No. 3, Lower john-street; Golden square;. had afforded a protection in his house to a young wthnan of the name of Davis; for whom he had beCome security; and who, falling into distress, he kept . concealed in bis house to prevent her fronx being arrested. This young woman being addicted to liquor, was at times in a State of mental distrac-r tion, and alarmed the neighbotlrtiood with ill cries of Murder ; and one night, on 11)0 sth of ocio her, i sob, pad made a noise at the witidow (she be- ing left atone in the house), and alarmed the neigh- . bourhood, in consequence of which, the watchman and constable got admission to the house s and the young woman was taken to the work-house, Mr. Neale, was afterwards; on the next morning, taken before Mr. Conant, without a warrant, and there, a). though no one appeared against him, and though it would be shewn that be had befriended this young woman very much, he was detained in custody an hour, and compelled to find bail io appear to answer for an assault and tale imprisonment of Eliza Davis; although she had never charged' him with any as sault, and no evidence was given of say offence committed by Mr. Neale. For this injury the Plaintiffsought a reparation in damages. A person of the name of Crispe, who had been a clerk to Mr. Neale in I 806, p rove d the fats of Mr. Neale, being taken by Gregory, a constable, and Petherick, to the Office in Marlborough -street, and that there was no examination bad in his presence, and that Mr. Neale was obliged to find bail. Upon his doss-examination by Mr. GARROW, be said that he was only at the office of Mr. Neale in the day time; that he sometime heard Miss Davis scream out on the landing place, but that victuals w ere regularly sent up to her at meals. He was never in her room, but understood it was properly furnish , - ed. There was an old nurse used to come to attetid her, and a medical gentleman, a Mr. Bacon, who , also attended her. Anne Osburne lived servant with Mr. Neale. She said Miss Davis was well treated, she had every Lhing that she could wish. She was hired to attend the family in the house. There was also an Irish woman who attended on her, but she did not sleep there. About ten days before this happened, she had fi quarrel with Miss Davis upon family affairs, and with Mr. and Mrs. Neale. Lord ELLENBOROUGH. Family affairs, then mean with you, a quarrel with all the family._ The /Fitness. Mr. Neale used to tell me not to get her liquor, but she said she would tear we to pieces if I did not, and she used to send me to pawn her eloaths to get liquor. She had also very often money. She was also at Marlborough-street, but heard no charge aganst Mr. Neale. He said, ii the Magistrate committed him he would do wrong, for be, Neale, bad done nothing to deserve it. On her cross-exemitiation she said, she did not now live with Mr. Neale, nee with her father and mother, she lived in Blacktriars Road. She had nsver pawned her things to get food ss bile at Mr. Neale's, nor said that he was a brute of a ma s t er an d starved her. Missy Davis had been an acquaintance of Neale's a long time. Between eight and nine months she lived at Neale's. She did not knce.v how she became acquainted there; she was young and very handsome; she was always in the house, some times in the one-pair and sometimes in the two-pair. Her firs: attendance on Miss Davis was to sle-p with her ; she was then quite intoxicated, and the wit ness had a great deal to do to keep her in her room. Was obliged to get her liquor, or she would have broke her head for her. She got to the window, and cried out that Neale was coming with hispistele to shoot her. On the Saturday night that the people broke into the house she was alone in the two-pair of stairs room. Mr. Neale discharged me on Sun day afternoon ; I told him how she had been be having on the Saturday night, and therefore I was stationed on the Sunday night to take care of her. I was forced to gut her spirits; Neale said, why do you get her liquors if I desire you not to du it ? She had that night a white wrapper - on ; she was not stark naked at the window ; she tied the shed to the bolt of the door, and said she would throw herself out of the window.—(This evidence related to an other occasion when the neighbourhood was pre viously disturbed by Miss Davis). Nobody ever came to see her; the water had been cut off the house at that time. On the night of this affair there was a French roll, which I understood Neale had given her with some coffee; he had staid at the office till two o'clock writing, and then went to his house at the Annuity Bank at Knightsbridge. He was fetched away by the Constable at four o'clock in the morning. • Miss Davis was locked op in the house at night, and I was locked up with her when I attended her. She went twice lo a public - place, to Vauxhall, with Mr. Neale; she had drunk liquor before she went. She rarely %vent out, ex cept to buy shoes or a bonnet. A Mr. Hunt, an opposite neighbour, saw Neale at the Office, he had been there three quarters of an hour. No evidence was given against him in this witness's presence.—He found bail in 2001. On being cross-examined by Mr. GARROW, he said he observed Miss Davis at the window, and had frequently heard her cries, which were " Murder ! help ! he is going to murder me." He called the watch. There never was so deplorable an 'object seen as she was when taken away. He remems bered some months before she used to visit at Mr. Neale's. She then came in her own carriage; the servants had green liveries; she was very young and beautiful. M'Kennan, a Clerk of Neale's, lately had been in Wales, to Pembrokeshire, to Verve Miss Davis with a subpoena; be went to her uncle's; he was in Wales five weeks; he believed ,she was at her un cle's, but finding what he came about, they would not let him see her. Mr. GARROW made a very impressive and feeling address to the Jury, and said that his client had. nut only not inisconduded himself, but had so allied, that it he had done otherwise in such a ease 40._
